Notes
George Bickham, Jr. "was principally famous in music circles for his two illustrated folio volumes, The Musical Entertainer, first issued in [200] fortnightly parts, each containing four plates, from January 1737 to December 1739."--NG.
Later issued by the engraver in 2 v. of 100 plates each, with a separate t.p. for each vol.; this ed. lacks the list of subscribers, but includes the indexes of songs in each vol., both characteristics of the first ed.; also characteristic of the 1st ed. is the attribution of fol. 14 of v. 2 to Handel, corrected to Porpora in the 2nd ed. (ca. 1740).
Engraved throughout on recto only, with illustrated title-pages, and vignettes at the head of each song.
With additional v. 1 t.p. (38 cm), and prelim. p. 2-4 and [3] p. list of subscribers (40 cm.), laid inside cover.
